Innovative salmon breeding

Multispecies benefits make salmon breeding more innovative

We at Hendrix Genetics,
believe in the synergetic effects that come from having a portfolio of
multispecies breeding programs. Besides critical mass in resources and
infrastructure, being a multispecies company brings us cross-pollination
effects in many areas. The key ones being R&D, geno- and phenotyping,
management practices and even our own specialized breeding information
technology. The results are evident for every breeding program we run. It ensures
an acceleration of the speed of genetic progress for all individual species.

Technology in breeding

We have accumulated the use of technology in breeding high quality
salmon since the 1970's. Since our acquisition, Hendrix Genetics has
added another level of R&D possibilities, also applicable to land based
species.

The central R&D knowledge across species is
optimally combined through the use and development of increasingly
sophisticated analysis tools and equipment, genetic assessment, statistical
analysis, modelling and pooled data from an ever-increasing number of
facilities across the world. Bringing you the products right from the start.

Selection technologies, applied in other Hendrix Genetics’ species, are helping to generate accelerated genetic progress across the aquaculture
industry.

Realizing genetic potential of fish

We are collaborating with
customers, nutrition and pharmaceutical companies at a multispecies level. Realizing
the genetic potential of fish is of course a combination of multiple factors.
Our aim is and always will be to provide innovative, sustainable genetic
solutions that create value throughout the protein chain.
